it's a ranking of your point differential adjusted by the point differentials of your opponents

no great conclusions here, just some numbers.  worth noting that Virginia has played the 8th toughest schedule.  NC State 121st.  We're somewhere in the middle like most of the teams on our schedule.  Louisville has the 25th hardest schedule.  UVA, Lou and NC St are the teams we might not be sure about.  I think Pitt is pretty safely ranked in the 50s.  Hopefully Dungy puts us better than 68 although a big reason we aren't ranked lower is because Mahoney threw TDs against a great team.

Just going by this, we still have hope and UVA isn't the whole season.  Pitt and BC at home and hope that NC St actually sucks.  I think this is more likely than beating UVA.

Clemson 6
Louisiana State 13
Florida State 15
Pittsburgh 53
Louisville 54
North Carolina State 56
Boston College 63
Syracuse 68
Wake Forest 72
South Florida 73
Central Michigan 82
Virginia 89

you can sort by strength of schedule too.  SRS is the ranking, SOS is the strength of schedule
